ABSTRACT
We report a case of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) in a 68-year-old man. Karyotype showed a clonal abnormality, never described before in CNL: 46,XY,del(11)(q23). Southern blot analysis of the MLL gene did not reveal any rearrangement, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis did not show any fusion of BCR-ABL. Treatment with hydroxyurea and cytosine arabisonide was ineffective.
